    I was wondering if anyone might know the maker of these candle holders? They appear to have a purple hue to them. I didnt know for sure if they had manganese in them so when the sunlight hit them they might have turned a little purple possibly. They have a holly berry scene on them as well. Thank you for any info!

    I can look them up in my books but I will need measurements, height and width of the foot.

    Can you also show a shot looking down at the cup?

    The cutting could have been done by the glass maker or could have been done by a decoration shop.

    It looks like a single generic flower at the top, and some leaves.

    Archer, Book 2 Candlesticks, pg 48, show a Fenton 8.5” with the engraving possibly by the Lotus firm. Appears to be yours.

    They look like Fenton, but I was bothered that I can't see the circle on the base.

    Thanks bakers, tall cakes, and Janet. What color/version are mine called? I didn't see a Fenton logo on mine so I assume these were made before the logo was put on?

    You all beat me to it :)

    My books agree, Fenton but they say 349 is the 10” and 449 is the 8-1/2”. I’ll have to check a Fenton book on that.

    I’m wondering about the color, in some of your photos it looks quite pink, in some grayish purple. Do you see a difference in color when you have it in daylight vs fluorescent light?
